Summary
Rodrigo Hiemer is a Senior Cloud-Native and Middleware Architect with over 11 years of professional experience and a 360-degree focus on modernizing large-scale, mission-critical infrastructures across public and private sectors from Rio de Janeiro. As a Red Hat Expert Consultant he blends deep OpenShift/Kubernetes, middleware (AMQ, Camel, JBoss/Quarkus) and identity (Keycloak) expertise with hands-on DevOps practices like GitOps, ArgoCD, Tekton and Ansible to deliver resilient, secure and observable platforms. He has led cloud-native transformations in healthcare and government, designing event-driven architectures, multicloud storage and CI/CD pipelines while preserving high availability and compliance (LGPD). Rodrigo’s background spans full-stack development and legacy modernization—including an AI-assisted Python tool to refactor legacy Delphi/C# code—so he is as comfortable tuning RHCOS or Kafka clusters as he is shipping backend services in Java, Node.js or Python. Notably, he combines vendor-specialist know-how with pragmatic automation and governance, translating business needs into scalable architectures and mentoring teams through complex migrations.
